What else can I help you with?
Is the eye a muscle or a different type of tissue?
The eye is not a muscle, but rather a complex organ made up of different types of tissues, including the cornea, retina, and lens.
Turns the eye medially?
Eye movements are accomplished by the Extraocular Muscles. The muscle that moves the eye medially is the Medial Rectus.
What is an abducens labiorum?
An abducens muscle is another name for rectus lateralis, a muscle in the eye which moves the eye away from the centre of the face.
What part of the eye is made of tough tissue?
The outer layer of the eye, known as the sclera, is made of tough tissue that helps to protect and maintain the shape of the eyeball.
The iris is composed primarily of two smooth muscle layers?
the radial fibers contract,enlarging the pupil and allowing more light to enter the eye
What kind of tissue is the iris made of?
loose aereolar connective tissue. this connective tissue is made up of 3 connective tissue fibres, collagen, elastic and reticular fibres. it contains fibroblast (most abundant cell type in connective tissue, which produces ground substance and fibres of connective tissue), macrophages, mast cells and plasma cells. its function is to hold and trap fluid, wrap and cushion organs and is important in inflammation.
What moves eyeball medially?
The medial rectus muscle is responsible for moving the eyeball medially by contracting. This muscle is one of the extraocular muscles that control eye movements.
What type of muscle tissue is voluntarily controlled?
Generally, skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled and smooth muscle is not. Some structures have a combination of both. For example, the bladder is made up of smooth muscle and consists of some skeletal muscle at the sphincter which is capable of "holding" it until you are ready.
What eye muscle control the movement of the eye?
A total of six muscle move each eyeball, 4 rectus muscels and 2 obliques. The superior, inferior, lateral and medial rectal muscle all pull the eye to be looking more in ther own direction. The superior oblique pulls the eye to look down and laterally and the inferior oblique pull the eye to look um and medialy.
What connective tissue forms protective layer of eye?
The connective tissue that forms the protective layer of the eye is called the sclera. This tough, white outer layer helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides attachment points for the eye's muscles.
Does your eye color change when you die?
No. When you die any flesh,muscle,tissue,etc. dies. So you wouldn't even have eyes after death.
What is tissue typing transplants?
Tissue typing involves checking that the organ destined for transplant has the same tissue type as the patient that is due to receive the organ requires. Tissue typing is usually only done on kidney transplants - other organs only require matching bloodtype and size.
